465 Her Intentions
Hazel stared at the knight with a blank gaze that they were scared. f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋n૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com
“We.. we tried to talk it out but the door was shut on our face before we could ask or do anything, my lady. We promise that we will find a solution for it.” he did not know what else to say when her stern face finally cracked.
“That will not be needed. I am happy that they are spending time together and anyone who would disturb them would face my wrath. Do you get it?” the knight was shocked as he raised his head and stared at her but when he felt her stern gaze, he nodded his head again and again.
“Good, you can leave. The case ends here.” The man bowed his head with a joyous face as he got rid of the hands of the knight who was holding him. ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖
“Thank you, your majesty. You are kinder than I have heard.” he wished and then left with a merry face.
The knights followed him too since they were not needed anymore.
Hazel grinned again. She had thought that it would take a long time but the results had already started to show.
“You seem to be happy by the affair of the councilman with your maid.” she tilted her head to look at Diana who was standing near her chair.
She did not see her coming and did not even smell her.
.....
“And now you are looking surprised. Were you not expecting me here?” asked Diana with a smile on her face when Hazel stood up.
“No! Since you are living as a guest here, I was expecting to meet you sooner or later. But I had not thought that you would walk into my office to meet me specially.” she admitted with a blunt look on her face when the smirk on the face of Diana widened.
“Why? I thought we were friends. Have I not helped you a lot when you first visited our empire? Should you not be showing some courtesy to me?” her eyes boring holes into the face of Hazel.
But she did not look away. She stared back at her face as if she was waiting for her to reveal her true intentions.
“Do not tell me that you do not want to. I should be the one angry here the way you have forced me to serve you.“ Though Diana was smiling, her insides were burning.
She would never forget the humiliation that she had faced that day when she had forced her to bring tea to her room when she was kissing Rafael.
Her eyes burn just by thinking about it.
“Oh! Is it? And here I thought that we were having some fun as friends. Did you not say that we are one?” asked Hazel knowing well that this was the weak point of Diana.
As expected, her face changed immediately and her eyes turned bloodshot.
“Yes, of course, we are friends. That is why I have come here. It has been a long time since Rafael and I had a good time together. I was thinking why not we all go for a horse ride? Or a picnic since I would be leaving soon.”
“And you are here to invite me rather than going along with him?” Hazel looked at Diana with an intrigued look.
Others might not know but she was sure that Diana had feelings for Rafael.
But Diana just shook her head/
“Of course, you are his wife. He would be happy if you would come too. We can have a good time together and forget about the past, hazel. I have tried a lot but I was never able to get his attention and now I have realized that it is time to say goodbye.“ Hazel narrowed her eyes.
She could believe that the sky had turned brighter in the night and the moon had risen in the morning but believing that Diana cared about her or her hands changed.
She was never going to believe it.
“Alright, then I would go horse riding.” she said after a thought when Diana smiled.
“It is a good choice. I heard that witches had a good affinity with forests. I would let you choose the venue then.“ That was another surprise. Hazel nodded her head as she failed to understand what Diana was planning but she could know it when they rode together.
“Then, I will go and inform Rafael and do the other preparations. Tell me when you decide on a place.” she repeated as she hugged Hazel who froze in her place.
As she saw Diana leaving, she felt a strange and ominous feeling.
But since she was choosing the place for the ride, she was only going to choose the palace.
Since the palace was large there were many orchards and large areas where they could ride.
If anything happened, she could always ask the staff for help.
With that thought Hazel chose the hunting grounds of the palace.
“My lady. Do you want to practice riding since I have never seen you riding a horse?” asked her aide as she looked at the whole plan when Hazle paused but then nodded her head.
“It has been a long time since I have ridden a horse. I will like it.” She stood up and walked out of the palace when she paused in her tracks.
On the other side of the gallery, she saw Diana holding the banister tightly in her hands while Rafeal was holding her waist.
They were staring into the eyes of each other like they were lost.
She stood there for some time when she noticed that he finally let her go and she shook her head and wiped the tears in her eyes.
She spoke a few more words to him before tuning in and leaving.
Rafael ran a hand in his hair as he cursed but then followed her as her heart stirred.
She had neve seen him behaving this way.
